Home Depot sponsors 10 ways to spend your money "saving the planet" at their highly inefficient, over-lit (and understaffed and undertrained) stores?Writers asked to write "green" jokes? (that sucked, and in many cases, thumbed their noses at "green" altogether - a foretaste of the strike to come?)

I know it's a good thing that we're all saving the planet now. And I know NBC has their heart in the right place. But isn't that company full of SMART people? Couldn't smart people come up with some truly innovative and interesting ways to address ecological responsibility that take us a step past advocating CFC bulbs (not necessarily as brilliant as these) and the cast of Heroes dumping a ceremonial shovel full of dirt on a sapling in Times square?

What a load of token bullshit.

You want some interesting ideas?

Start buying less crap. And wasting less of that.Start recycling EVERYTHING.Make a fucking compost pile.Put a rainbarrel in your yard.You know: the weird hippie shit that would take some effort. THAT's how we save the planet. Not by buying a new, energy efficient dryer (and carting the old one off to a landfill.)
